Watch: Shakib Al Hasan mocks Virat Kohli with ice-cold celebration after rattling his stumps

Virat Kohli was finally looking in good touch in the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh before Shakib Al Hasan removed him by shattering his stumps. Kohli looked in good form and was looking to play with intent.

However, his wait to score Test fifty got longer as he was dismissed three runs short of his fifty. Shakib tossed up an arm ball from wide of the crease and the ball went on straight after pitching on off stump.

Virat Kohli tried a big slog through midwicket but missed the ball completely. As a result, the ball shattered his stumps. It was a big wicket given the match was slowly going away from Bangladesh. Kohli was dismissed for 47 off 35 balls, which included 4 fours and 1 six.

Virat Kohli plays an aggressive innings

Virat Kohli's innings was full of adventures as he was lucky a few times as well. Khaled Ahmed missed an easy run out early in the innings when Kohli would have been easily dismissed after a mistake by Rishabh Pant.

However, the 35-year-old continued on his aggressive route and smashed the bad balls out of the park. Kohli batted with intent and found boundaries at regular intervals. He also rotated the strike well and made full use of the gaps.

Kohli stitched a fiery partnership with KL Rahul after India had lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant in quick succession. Both Kohli and Rahul formed a great partnership of 87 off 59 balls to help India gain an upper hand.

Indian batters show attacking intent

Meanwhile, it was a terrific effort from Indian batters who went all guns blazing in an attempt to win the match. There were no half measures from the batters as they continued the attacking display of batting despite losing wickets.

Captain Rohit Sharma showed the way from his first ball as he smashed his first two balls for sixes. Rohit was dismissed for 23 off 11 balls but Yashasvi Jaiswal carried on his merry way.

The left-hander kept the run rate high and found boundaries with utmost ease. He used all of his T20 skills and smashed the bowlers all around the park. Jaiswal scored a belligerent 72 off just 51 balls with 12 fours and 2 sixes.

Although Rishabh Pant could not contribute much this time, the other batters continued to keep the scoring rate upwards. Rahul and Kohli were magnificent with their quickfire partnership as they did not slow down despite India losing quick wickets.

But the Men in Blue started losing wickets regularly after Kohli's dismissal. In an attempt to score quick runs, the lower middle order and the tailenders perished quickly.

KL Rahul also announced his return to form and scored 68 off just 43 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes. India declared their innings at 285-9, and gained a first innings lead of 52 runs.
